Hili Finance Company plc will open a new €60 million bond issue to investors on January 7, 2026.
The unsecured bonds will bear interest at an annual rate of 5% and are guaranteed by Hili Ventures Ltd. They will mature in 2033.
Bonds will be available for subscription by all categories of investors, including the general public, and issued at a nominal value of €100 each with a minimum investment of €3,000.
Existing bondholders as well as bondholders in other Hili group subsidiaries will be given preferential access to subscribe.
Hili Finance Company is the financing arm of Hili Ventures, a privately owned Malta-based group with operations across 10 countries in Europe and North Africa, employing more than 13,000 people across food service, retail, real estate, hospitality, shipping, engineering, and technology.
It currently has four bonds with a total nominal value of €250 million listed on the Malta Stock Exchange. Those bond issues will mature in 2027, 2028 and 2029.
The company first sought regulatory approval to list its latest €60 million bond issue last October and received the green light in December.
It intends to use money raised to help its various subsidiaries grow, to refurbish a boutique hotel overlooking the Grand Harbour and to acquire a property in Hamrun.
Offer closes on January 28
Hili Finance Company chairman Geoffrey Camilleri said the company had grown from its Maltese roots into a diversified international business.
“We look forward to building on what has been achieved to date, with the support of the market, as we continue to invest in the group’s development,” Camilleri.
The offer will close on January 28, 2026 or earlier in the event of oversubscription. The bonds will mature and be redeemable at their nominal value on February 6, 2033.
Applications from interested investors will only be accepted if made through one of the authorised financial intermediaries listed in the bond prospectus. The full bond documentation is available for download on the company’s website: www.hilifinance.com.
The Hili Group saw revenues of €1.09 billion in 2024, slightly lower than the €1.14 billion it originally forecast for the year. It projected revenues to top €1.2 billion in 2025. Assets and cash reserves grew more than originally forecast.
The company generates more than one-third of its revenue in Romania, with its Malta operations accounting for around 8 per cent of its total revenues in 2024. Locally, the Hili Group fully acquired Tigne Mall and took a 4.99 per cent stake in Bank of Valletta in the past year.
